History Characters / JustifiedCroweFamily

* ConfrontingTheImpostor: He disguised himself as Raylan while robbing some of Dickie's goons of a shipment of OxyContin. He winds up putting Raylan on his tail, who very quickly figures out it was Dewey because of his signature neck tattooes.

* HarmlessVillain: Up until Season 5. He's a criminal to be sure, but he's such an idiot that he fails at everything he tries.

* HarmlessVillain: Up until Season 5.

* CruelAndUnusualDeath: Daryl is shot in the groin and neck by Wendy, when he tries to grab his recorded confession from her. He bleeds out on the floor of Audrey's, pathetically trying to stop the blood flow as Raylan stands menacingly over him, not lifting a finger to help. Even for a show with some brutal death scenes, his stands out as particularly nasty; however, given how evil and soulless he is, he deserved every last bit of it.

* CharacterDeath: Daryl is shot in the groin and neck by Wendy, when he tries to grab his recorded confession from her. He bleeds out on the floor of Audrey's, pathetically trying to stop the blood flow as Raylan stands menacingly over him, not lifting a finger to help.

* GoldTooth: Has one.

* ADateWithRosiePalms: The reason he got kicked out of Boyd's church, which forbids onanism.

[[caption-width-right:350:''"[[KnifeNut You heard of the 21-foot rule?]]"'']]

* KnifeNut: Favors the knife, wearing one in a hip holster at all times. He brags about how if he's within twenty-one feet he can use a knife to take down a man with a gun, though he hesitates to actually try it against Jean-Baptiste.

* CorruptHick: A backwoods gator poacher with connections in a Florida law office through his sister. He's now aiming to achieve greater status in Harlan.

* NiceHat: Always wears a broadbrimmed straw hat.

* {{Expy}}: They come off as a collective expy of the Bennetts, with the redneck tendencies cranked UpToEleven.

* ThoseTwoBadGuys: He and Dewey play this role in "Kill the Messenger", with Danny as the threatening one and Dewey as the idiot.

* EvilVsEvil: It's hard ''not'' to cheer for Daryl when he beats the tar out of Neo-Nazi Gunner Swift.

-->'''Daryl:''' I know what you thinking.
-->'''Boyd:''' Well I wager you a crisp Ben Franklin you do not.
-->'''Daryl:''' You wondering 'can I trust these dusty-ass Crowe boys?'
-->'''Boyd:''' I owe you a hundred dollars.

* DomesticAbuser: A sibling example. Daryl beats Wendy to a pulp, manipulates her for his ends, and blames her for Kendal's incarceration when it was he himself who forced Kendal to make a false confession.

* TeensAreMonsters: {{Averted}}. Similar to [[JustifiedBennettFamily Loretta]], Kendal might have grown up around criminals and might not bat an eye at illegality, but he still has a functional moral compass compared to the majority of the Crowes.

* TooDumbToLive: And yet he still manages to.

* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Toyed with. Daryl is certainly obsessive about keeping the family together, and he talks a lot about the importance of family, but given his murder of Dilly, his abuse of Dewey, and his disregard for Wendy and Kendal's feelings, how much he really cares for any of them is questionable. It's eventually confirmed that he ''does'' care, when he is deeply upset about Danny's death, and tries to apologise to Wendy during their ensuing fight.

* TookALevelInBadass: Raylan remembers Daryl as a not-very bright, low level gator poacher. Following his time in prison, he's gotten a lot smarter, moving into illegal sugar trafficking, drug smuggling, and prostitution. Throw in his newly murderous proclivities, and he can stand with the likes of Boyd Crowder and Wynn Duffy as threats.
